A Literary Ramble through New York

In Part II of “Walking with Horatio Alger,” I follow the path taken by Horatio Alger’s Ragged Dick on the first day of the novel. I’m accompanied by friend, former student, and lawyer Matt Milford, and we reflect on the story and its meaning while try to recapture its original sense of place. We also eat a delicious Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich.

I cannot emphasize enough how effective your voice is in transporting us back in history.
The sound and pacing of your words immediately slows down our world and brings out the beauty in the details. At the risk of sounding like the bleeding heart that I am, your voice is both brilliant and kind. A rare find. I want the whole world to hear it.
